Ripped motor mounts and coupler

[McDog]

I just sheared the motor mounts and drive shaft coupler doing a nose stab. Pics will come wednesday. It.......was......so......cool!

:cool2::woot::brap:


Now does anyone know what mounts to get and where, what coupler to get (Riva or stock), and what other parts and/or tools I might need to fix it?

 

[CoreyLKN]

I definitly wouldnt think it would be cool if it happened to me..but whatever floats you ski.

 

[McDog]

Oh yeah. It was on my superjet

....... like I'd bother to do a nosestab on my XP!?!

 

[McDog]

I'm not really happy that my ski is broken and now I have to fix it.

But I do thinks it's cool that I had the balls to do something insane enough to break it!

%#@*!, I'm trying to stay positive!

parker yamaha had good prices on the monkey gripes and the couplers.

And put some Kenny Keepers on there to keep it from happening again:biggthumpup:

You don't even have anything to get a pry bar on to get the coupler off... ouch. Good luck!!

I got the motor out yesterday but didn't have time to do anything else.

I'm going to try a huge pipewrench and a hammer. My bendix was going out anyway so I'll pull the flywheel and get a grip on that end instead of putting rope in the cylinder.

I consider myself lucky that the midshaft coupler and housing wasn't damaged.

Oh Yeah....Forget all the other comments I made......

THIS SUCKS!

:damnit:

A pipe wrench will get it off.:biggthumpup:

Do you have access to a welder or know someone who does? If so try this:

Just take some scrap steel and a socket, mark on the steel the shape of the busted coupler, then weld three smaller pieces on the marks, weld the socket to the center, put some rope in a cylinder, insert air tool and there you go, instant removal :biggrin:

 

[McDog]

I got it off by putting a puller on the flywheel, then putting the puller in a vise and using a huge pipe wrench and a hammer on the broken coupler.

It was actually pretty easy.

I gotta give credit to :hail:Kevin at legdrag.com for helping me out with parts and advice. He told me to use a pipe wrench and hammer, the "puller in a vise" part I came up with myself.:biggrin:

Here are the pics

now get some kenney keepers

 

[McDog]

Oh trust me, I am. So what's the next most common damage done trying to freestyle? I figure I'll start preparing myself.

 

[GDFL]

Get ready to start ripping the nose off frequently. Carry duct tape if you don't want it to ruin your day completely.

Check the flywheel key before you put it back together. I sheared mine holding the flywheel and using a breaker bar on the coupler. Didn't know it until I was at the water...it wasted a day. :banghead:

 

[McDog]

Thanks WAB, I checked it when I replaced my bendix (it was starting to give me problems). I put the engine back together last night and mounted it in the hull (with kenny keepers!). Tonight I'll put everything else back together and hope and pray I did it right and it all works on Saturday.
